Welcome to Litsy!

I gave this a chance
Cliché hetero romance
Not my cup of tea

Not my normal genre, but the cover drew me in.. was not a fan of the audiobook narrator, (🤠🙄) but I shallowly bypassed that to give the author a chance.. because I think she's cute 🫣😅
All in all, it's not bad, but I don't plan to continue/read the rest of the series.

Alone in the wild
A woman finds her true self
Makes me want to hike
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Also, the most meaningful/relatable quote I found in the book:

"That's what fathers do if they don't heal their wounds. They wound their children in the same place."

Dying girl shows boy
How it feels to truly live
You might cry... I did.

A story about
Family. Not broken, but
Completely shattered

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I thought I'd take a break from all the horror/scary stories I've been reading all month, but tbh this was a horror in itself. In a fucked-up-family-omg-I-can't-believe-people-out-there-actually-have-these-experiences-and-survive-then-have-to-cope-and-no-wonder-people-get-addicted-to-shit sorta way. This had my attention.

A young well to do
Not given mush room for choice
Upholds her morels

?????????????

Yoo, this was so fun!!! And grotesque! And creepy! Thoroughly enjoyed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Favorite quote: "We thoughts monsters and ghosts were found in books. But they're real, you know."

Wasted all my time
Waiting for the main event
Turns out there was none

UGH! This was written in 2020, so maybe when we were all home doing nothing, this was RIVETING. I am so disappointed. I may give the author another shot, because some of his other comics look interesting, but then again, so did this one 🙃 But I promise if they aren't going anywhere after the first volume, I will DNF faster than green grass through a goose.

First, you take a drink
Then, you take another drink
Then, the drink takes you

I can't take credit for this haiku as I remember it from a prohibition museum I visited in GA a few years back. But it fits this memoir SO. WELL. Highly recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from addiction, or knows someone suffering from addiction, or is simply curious about the mindset of an addict. Long story short - a good read.

Sometimes a fresh start
Isnt always what it seems
History repeats itself
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

May have cheated and spoiled myself by reading ahead, but it was still an awesome story, and despite spoiling myself early on, there were other twists as well I didn't account for. This was the perfect vacation read - had me locked in while laying in a hammock, sunning on the beach, and roasting in front of a fire. Flew through this in 2 days. #haikureview

Honestly this was
So fucked up and I don't know
If I'll recover

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Strong bonds of friendship
Adorable characters
Laugh out loud moments

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book started off super funny, stayed super funny, but also turned into a tender story about friendship and love. Loved it. 💜
